Recipe Wednesday: Pumpkin Roll

Kevin and I have a Fall/Winter Semester Bucket List, and one of the items on that list is "Pumpkin flavored everything." It's kind of a little inside joke that we have.
So the moral of the story is that I've been trying to do some pumpkiny baking! And I'd love to share this delicious pumpkin roll recipe with you just in time for Thanksgiving (this is actually going to be my contribution to the Thanksgiving feast this year).
I found this recipe via Pinterest at this website.

Pumpkin Roll:

CAKE: Set your oven to 375.

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

2/3 cup LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin

1/4 cup powdered sugar (to sprinkle on towel)

FILLING

1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, at room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1st, prepare your pan and towel (this will make things easier when you are ready to bake). To prepare the pan, spray a 12x17 pan with cooking spray, add some parchment paper and grease and flour the parchment paper. For the towel, lay out a clean towel on a flat surface and sprinkle with that 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. 

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. 

Mix all the wet ingredients in a bowl and combine with the dry ingredients. 

Spread in your prepared pan

Bake at 375 for about 12-13 minutes.

As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, flip it over onto the pre-prepared powdered-sugar covered towel and roll it up (hot-dog style). It's important to roll it up in the towel when it's still hot because it will help it keep its form. 

While the cake is cooling (all inside that towel cocoon), make the icing. 

Combine ingredients and stir well.

Try not to eat all the icing before you put it on the cake. This will be hard, trust me.

Once the cake is cool, unwrap it from the towel (it will try hard to keep the rolled-up shape), and spread icing on with a spatula. 

Then roll the cake back up without the towel!

Cut it in half and start eating! It's better if it's been refrigerated for about an hour before serving.
